UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICE.

JOSEPH SCHOTT, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

PEN AND ERASER COMBINED.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 56,455, dated July 17, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it Vknown that I, JOSEPH SCHOTT, of the city of Chicago, in the county of Cook` and State ofIllinois, have invented a new and useful Combination of Drawing-Pen and Eraser; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof7 reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Fignre l represents side View oi" the tool, and Fig. 2 represents the eraser.

The object ot' my invention, combined drawingpen and eraser, is to produce a tool which would combine both drawing-pen and eraser, and so arranged that the last would not interfere in using the first; besides, to make the tool folding, so that it might be conveniently carried in a pocket.

To enable others to make and use myinvention, I will describe its construction and operation.

I make the handle of my pen A of two pieces, which are ilat and wider at the bottom, holding between them an eraser, B. The eraser has a dat handle, at the top of which there are two projections or pins, b b. Its dat part is inserted between the two halves of the handle, and the pins are fitted into the holes of a metallic ring, C, sliding on the round part of the handle and riveted. By sliding forth or back the ring C the eraser cornes out or enters into the handle. Instead of a ring, a slot in the handle and a spring with a pin attached to the flat part of eraser or some other arrangement may be used. The drawing-pen D is attached to the other end of the handle by rivets d d, and has a knee-joint, E, so that the pen when unfolded may be used conveniently in drawings, and when folded make the whole tool ot' twice smaller length, thus making it convenient to carrj,7 in a pocket.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the folding drawing pen with sliding eraser, the whole arranged as above described, and for the purpose herein specified.

JOSEPH SCHOTT.
